I had a chance to catch up with Westchester County Election Commissioner Reginald Lafayette yesterday while attending a Democratic Unity Press Conference. The event was essentially a pep rally for mayoral candidate Shawyn Patterson Howard, who having one the primary in June, is basically a shoe-in to win in the November general election. Even though the June votes have been tallied and certified, Patterson Howard’s opponent, incumbent Mayor Richard Thomas is continuing to pursue a lawsuit against the board of elections, claiming there was voter fraud and voting irregularities. Mr. Lafayette spent a few minutes explaining the implications of that lingering lawsuit.
